Olympic Gold Medalist Suni Lee Serves as Guest Photographer at NFL Christmas Day Game

Minneapolis, MN — December 25, 2025 — Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee stepped into a new role on Christmas Day, serving as a guest photographer for the NFL, capturing behind-the-scenes and on-field moments during today’s matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions.

Lee, who rose to global fame with her historic Olympic performance, was seen on the sidelines with professional camera gear, documenting the action from a creative perspective rather than competing on the field. The moment marked a full-circle evolution for the Olympic champion — transitioning from being the subject of iconic sports imagery to helping create it.

The Christmas Day appearance instantly caught the attention of fans online, blending sports, culture, and storytelling in a way rarely seen during an NFL game. Lee’s presence highlighted the growing crossover between elite athletes and sports media, offering fans a fresh lens on one of the league’s biggest holiday matchups.

News Blend 360 recognizes this moment as a powerful reminder that champions continue to shape the sports world long after the podium — sometimes by telling the story instead of starring in it.
